Washington Wizards forward Jeff Green caught the bad end of Lance Stephenson's crossover earlier this week, but the tables were turned during Wednesday night's game against the Phoenix Suns.
With just over six minutes remaining in the second quarter, Green intercepted a Phoenix pass attempt. After making his way down the court in transition, he proceeded to throw down a nasty one-handed jam over Dragan Bender.

NBA fans on social media lit Green up earlier this week, despite the fact that Stephenson appeared to step on his foot while making his move. In fact the video footage went viral almost instantly. This time around, however, it was Green dishing out the embarrassment.
Green logged 10 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's 124-121 victory, scoring five points on 2-of-6 shooting from the field, three steals and one block. Bradley Beal and Jabari Parker each had 28 points for the Wizards, who snapped a five-game skid. Thomas Bryant added 18 points and a career-high 19 rebounds.
During his post-game media availability, Green was asked if he has a message for his haters on social media.
“Take that for data,” Green said with a big smile.
“I'm glad I was on the good end this time,” he added.
